Amanda, 37, of Castle View, Dodworth, suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic condition which can lead to complete blindness, and has been on the waiting list for a guide dog since April last year.

She has about five per cent vision and uses a white cane to get around.

Rebecca, 20, said: "She found out she had it when she was 28 and it's got worse as she's got older."

Rebecca said if the group raise £2,500 or more, they may win a chance to name a puppy.

She added: "They are looking forward to it and we're pushing for as much money as we can."
